Form & Verdict

Left his 2yo form behind him when running out the ready winner of a Class 5 handicap over C&D last week, making all up the favoured far rail; 6lb rise and stronger opposition ask more of him but not unreasonable to expect further progress.

Confirmed the promise of her 2yo debut when winning a 5f Thirsk maiden on her reappearance this month; good start to her handicap career when second of six at Nottingham last week, keeping on well (5f, soft); more to come back at 6f and she's one of the likelier types.
